This has to do with ANY excess having to do with having a false sense of security when doing anything or handling a dangerous item.
This weekend a former NHL player was killed by fireworks. Every 4th of July there are stories of people who get injured or die or cause needless fires because they think they know what they are doing. The same can be said with drinking and driving. Humans far to often stupidly think that just because nothing happened for a period of time, nothing bad will happen ever.
I see fireworks no different than guns, or driving. All of those things require knowledge, education, and a healthy respect that you cannot treat them like toys.

the rest of you should be highly regulated and restricted if at all allowed to purchase either. nothing more dangerous than a beta male with something to prove. So i agree with you, as i am sure you are speaking for the same type of person you are, and i feel your intentions here are to help soceity regulate people like yourself.
In fact i think all "dims" laws, taxes legislation, restrictions ect should only apply to 'dim' people. Because they know how to administrate and represent that segment of the population far better than any Rep could. we would give incompetent people far too much or many freedoms which ultimately results in mass shooters and the like (as most are dims who do mass shootings)
So nice to see we can agree on somethings.
Underage people fighting in wars have happened in our species history worldwide forever. That doesn't make it good or right. We are not living in 1776. It is 2021. Be it home gun violence, street gun violence, or war, PTSD isn't something that just affects veterans of war, and it can have an even worse devastating effect on youth.
And if you truly think someone like me should not own a firearm, I agree, I should not. Problem is the way our laws are now, since I have no violent felony record, I can legally go out right now as you read this, and buy any firearm I wish. But you can't "regulate" people on the issue of firearms merely because you don't like their politics. There is no religious or political party oath required to own a firearm.
FYI, when you say "dim" what you mean are sane people because we think and you need a bullshit slur to vilify us.
Incompetence isn't accepting limitations. Incompetence is saying "hold my beer" stupidly thinking you can handle something and stupidly think nothing bad will happen. Sane gun owners don't worship their firearms, and they treat them as deadly at all times.
